GettyWHAT COLE SAID
Former Chelsea and England striker Carlton Cole believes the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner needs to speak up, as one of the most recognisable and respected figures in the global game, telling talkSPORT: “Argentina have got someone who is renowned as probably the best footballer to ever grace the beautiful game – Lionel Messi. We've got a look at Messi and you say, you know what, Messi come out. We need to hear you. I need you to. You’ve got to speak up about this. Because this is more than Enzo. Messi is the main guy there. He's the captain. He needs to come out and say something about this behaviour. Otherwise, it's just like he doesn't care. He doesn’t care how I feel, he doesn’t care how some of his black team-mates he’s had in the past feel. That just shows me that he's selfish. He needs to come out and say something. I condemn him. Simple. I condemn Messi.”
